March 5, 2010. Benedict XVI has formed a commission to investigate if Our Lady truly appeared in Medjugorje, a small town in Bosnia.

The
commission is part of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
and Cardinal Camillo Ruini will preside over the commission. Ruini is
the popes former vicar of Romes diocese. Ruini goal will be to
explain to the pope whats happening at the sanctuary which has become
the third most visited in Europe.

Allegedly, at least 6 people
have witnessed the Virgins apparitions there since 1981. Aside from the
large crowds of pilgrims who visit the sanctuary, the Vatican has not
commented on the alleged apparitions, but in 1991 the local bishops
said they were not aware of any supernatural apparitions.

This
investigation will put an end to any doubts and itll be critical for
the millions of pilgrims who visit this shrine every year
